The word “cosplay” comes from the words “costume” and “play.” Cosplayers are known for their versatility and strong attention to detail, combining the skills of sewing, foam and thermoplastic work, prop building, wig styling, special effects makeup, and more into their work to ensure everything looks according to a specific character’s design. These characters are sourced from a variety of things, such as movies, video games, Japanese anime series, or even original designs—anything you want as long as it makes you happy! The “play” part comes in when actions or dialogues are included to mimic the character even further past the visual aspect. Most cosplayers will flock to either fan conventions or cosplay social media spaces where they can interact with others who enjoy the same fandoms as they do and take part in impressions, skits, and more. The community aspect of cosplay is very strong, allowing for a safe, judgment-free space to simply have fun and be yourself.

What if I told you dress-up isn’t just for Halloween? Eight years ago, I discovered the world of cosplay, a costume and performance focused art with hundreds of thousands of talented community members who share the same common interest of dressing head-to-toe as a fictional character. The concept might sound a bit nerdy—it is! But that’s what makes it fun and special, speaking as a cosplayer myself. Maybe you’ve heard of Comic Con or stumbled across someone building a cosplay on social media. This extremely creative hobby (and profession) is growing in popularity faster than ever in 2022 with cosplay-based content receiving frequent attention on Instagram and TikTok. So, what’s the big deal?
